FAA meeting to feature impressionistic landscapes

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Art Association’s guest artist for their Sept. 18 meeting will be Toni Williams. The critique, one work per person, will start at 9:30am at the Crossway Church at the corner of Reche and Stage Coach. Toni will then do an oil demonstration followed by a workshop, which will be the Impressionistic Landscape with a limited palette. Call Carol Reardon to reserve your place.

Williams has been a professional artist and muralist for over 20 years. She is a member of the Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild, San Dieguito Art Guild, Oil Painters of America, California Art Club and American Impressionists Society, Signature Member.

A native of New York, she moved to San Diego in 1972 to finish her education at UCSD in La Jolla with a Bachelor’s in Visual Arts. Taken with the arid and temperate climate of Southern California, she stayed.
